ROUND 49 THEMES
RULES:» All icons must be made specifically for this community, each round you decide to participate in. No prior work can be submitted.
» All work must be your own, not someone else's.
» All images must be PG RATED. Meaning no depiction of violence or either genders 'bits' visible. If you're unsure, just ask.
» They must fit the livejournal standard. (under 40kb, 100x100px and either .png, .gif or .jpg file format)
» You can either link us to your icon journal giving 3 examples, not just banners link to your icon post or you can post them here under a cut, still giving 3 examples before it.
» Post the completed icons at once and link directly to the set.
» Icons however can be posted before voting goes up. Once you've signed up to enter the challenge you will be given moderated posting access which means a mod must approve the post before it can be viewed.
» Don't submit your icons to this post.
» ALL entries are moderated which means that we have to accept the entry before it's made visible to the public.
» Please, if you participate try to check out the other participants entries. (another reason why there's an unlocked rule.) You want people to check out yours and vice versa, it's fair game.
» You can use the provided table, but you can use your own as well. But keep the themes in the right order!
» When posting your icons to the community, please ensure you put Round 48: "your artist" as the subject.
» Please add your own tags, and do it using the following format exactly:
entries: round 49, round: 49, user: you, musician: chosen or band: chosen band
» If you'd like a participation banner, note it in your post. If you do not tell me you want a participation banner, you won't receive one.
» Deadline is July 12th, Midnight @ your timezone.
